International connection

Oman has long since become a true hotspot of tourism in the Middle East. A consistent development of the infrastructure in the country, the introduction and development of a gentle tourism concept and the preservation of the identity of the state as well as the people of Oman play an important role. It is different from countries like the United Arab Emirates, whereas a tourist, you can only find a glittering world of replicated superlatives, but no identity or originality. In Oman, you can get to know the culture and history of the people in the country. On the whole, Islam in Oman is more cosmopolitan and progressive than in any other Arab country. Of course, what also played an important role was the constant improvement of the country’s international connection, since most tourists travel by plane. The main airports in the country are Salalah Airport and Muscat Airport. If you are interested in a trip to Oman, you should, first of all, inform yourself about topics such as flight times and possible direct flights. There are not many direct flights to Oman – many airlines fly from Germany to Oman only with a stopover. However, those who plan in advance and inform themselves accordingly can use this to head for two destinations during a holiday.

Diese regierten Oman für längere Zeit aus Bagdad und Damaskus. Es ist damit die Geburtsepoche des Islam in Oman. Bereits einige Jahrzehnte später bildete sich die islamische Glaubensrichtung der Ibaditen, die im Hinterland um 900 n. Chr. eigenständige Imamate gründeten. Nach längeren Machtkämpfen verlor die Herrschaft der Imame ihren Einfluss an die Nabhani-Dynastie, welche Oman um 1180 nach Chr. erneut vereinen konnte. Die Nab...
